I get an error in line 19, invalid syntax:

This was with Python 3.3, it works in Python 2.7 but it has an error when it uses an UNICODE character.

@EricBlastar @jmoz I've updated it to work with Python 3.x here https://gist.github.com/Braunson/6144191

@EricBlastar you are receiving that because the code was for <2.2 but you've got 3.x installed. A few things have changed. That kind of string formatting has been deprecated since like 2.2 and they removed it for >3.x

@jmoz @BraunsonI fixed it for Python 2.7 here: https://gist.github.com/ErisBlastar/6144424

BTW it is Eris and not Eric, thanx for the update.
